A couple of days ago we told you about a signed and complete set of 1st edition Potter books that went on the auction block.
Today, the BBC reports that the set sold for £17,800 (or $35,470). This did not include the 15% buyer's premium plus VAT.
Thanks to Cat for the tip!

Nagini2- Is it really necessary to say youre first? Everyone can see that, so why dont you comment someone worthy to the story.
Anyways, Im glad that they sold for that much!

I, for one, hate it when people get all worked up over what someone types on the internet.
But maybe thats just me...

Thats a good amount of money . . . and pygmypuff811, I have to agree, I wish I had it. It went to charity again right? At least its a good cause. To bad I didnt have the money to buy those books either. You dont come across first edition signed copies often . . . and the whole series too, wow.

Wow, people! Calm down! What the flip!? If theyre first and it really makes their day to proclaim it to the world, LET THEM! If you think its moronic, dont do it yourself! gosh! GO EAT PIE! I think its cool that the books fetched that kind of money btw...

Nagini2, if you are proud to be the first one to post a comment to an item on Mugglenet then I applaude you. There was a time when there would be 100 posts on every silly little item they had within 5 minutes but those days have passed. Im sure Mugglenet appreciates people like you that continue to support this site.
BTW...22ND!!!!!
